Northrop Grumman Awarded Radar Pact

Northrop Grumman said it was awarded two contracts from the U.S. Air Force's Warner Robins Air Logistics Center to provide radars and logistical support for the Air National Guard. The contract value for the radar systems is $13.5 million, while the contract for continued logistical support is worth $6.6 million. The company said the AN/APN-241 navigation and weather radars enhance safety for the C-130H and C-130J tactical airlift aircraft. Manufacturing of the radars will take place at company facilities in Norwalk, Conn., and Baltimore. Deliveries are expected to be complete by September 2009.
